Gothic Revival style

Gothic Revival style

(1830–1860)

A romantic style distinguished by vertically pointed arches, steeply pitched complex gable roofs, finials, and medieval decorative motifs. Country houses featured wide verandas and octagonal towers or turrets. Windows in dormers had hood molds with gingerbread trim running along the eaves and gable ends. Variety was the standard of the style.

Built in the Victorian gothic revival style, the chapel still retains some of its original features, including a scissor truss roof with exposed wooden beams, wrought iron decorative finials, diamond leaded lights, the remains of a mechanical organ, and a tiled aisle which is in need of restoration.

It was built between 1865 and 1867 by W & G Audsley - William James Audsley and George Ashdown Audsley - who also designed several other places of worship in Liverpool in the Gothic Revival style, including Princes Road Synagogue.
